it's horrible to be forced to wait for your enemies to make a mistake. but as the stakes get higher and higher, the chances of a mistake catastrophic enough to change the state of play also increase
how do you even live with the knowledge that we lost and that it is too late to achieve communism

do people say stuff like this about any other type of music? i think i’ve only ever seen it said about rock (and they love to say it)
It is funny that bands continue to make rock music. No offense to any of them, but this should have been the end, there is no need for anymore

a big advantage of using algorithms and automation to break laws and conspire to consolidate power is to remove the means of narration from what you're doing. if a computer handles the details, then not even you understand how you got rich

thought about this one some more and it is interesting how effectively the media prioritizes “individually represented evil” even when the same people in the same emails are also documented carrying out “malevolent geopolitical statecraft”
One could do an entire media studies course on the priorities given to palace intrigue and individually represented evil—no doubt still worthy of attention—over and above the still far larger effects of malevolent geopolitical statecraft wiping out entire cities and people.

i guess one of the many benefits of AI is that now the elite can do conspiracies with virtually no risk of sex trafficking
Lina Khan explains to Jon Stewart how "AI is turbocharging all sorts of corporate law breaking." She explains how we see this with price fixing: " So back in the day, if you wanted to fix the prices with your rivals, you'd all have to kind of get in a room together quietly and

what's the german word for the feeling of shock at news that's very bad but technically right in line with how bad you abstractly believed things were
Brett Kavanaugh’s lawyers got advice from Epstein via Steve Bannon on avoiding sexual abuse allegations. Kavanaugh also mysteriously had more than $100k of credit card debt paid off. Coincidentally around the same time that JP Morgan ignored reports on Epstien’s money

has anyone on either side thought of directly paying crowdsourced bribes to elected officials via kickstarter or something? would they do what we want then
Nick Fuentes: "This is not MAGA. There's nothing MAGA about any of this. This is not America First. None of these is putting Americans first. Every promise has been broken. Trump has not delivered. It has been one disappointment after another and that is because of corruption.

worth remembering that this, let’s call it particular orientation, was normal in the 80s and 90s, especially for rich guys. it was always gross, but middle aged rich white guys could freely sexualize preteens and you were a prude if you complained
"He wasn't into like, 8 year olds. But he liked the very young teen-types that could pass for even younger than they were, but would look legal to a passerby." Not only is this disgusting, it doesn't even make sense.

Most people do not realize this. Epstein’s MAIN job was laundering money for multiple nations covert operations and high profile businessmen and foreign leaders like the Marcos’, Adnan Khashoggi, MBS and many more. Epstein contributed directly to the financial collapse on 2008.
Did you know Epstein was at the center of the largest Ponzi scheme in history prior to the Bernie Maddoff scandal? Everyone was charged except him.

we may be able to concoct something
Kevin Hassett on the October jobs report: "We'll maybe be able to concoct something, but we'll never actually know for sure what the unemployment rate was in October."

i’ve had this thought as well but imo Lichtenberg on 18th century fiction only validates it. 18th century fiction was bad and embarrassing then and it’s still bad and embarrassing now. writers just have to lean into it, i think. notes toward a fiction of abject humiliation
sometimes a paranoid thought i have is that contemporary fiction is bad because so much of present conditions are so embarrassing that rendering them in prose is humiliating but then remember that lichtenberg said the same thing about the 18th century

ok this one is worse. i love that the only way anything can happen in government is through manufactured crises that in turn allow wealthy donors to directly write laws
SCOOP: Senators quietly put language into the shutdown deal helping their donors block rules to prevent food contamination & foodborne illnesses at farms & restaurants, according to bill text reviewed by @LeverNews. The provisions come amid an explosion of food-borne illnesses.
